once upon a starry starry night....

i just found out today that someone i knew died last night due to cancer.. i really dont know how to handle it.. on one hand i didnt know him very well (he was a friend of my parents, same hf) but we had our moments of fun and laughter.. i never knew someone who died before.. and now i wanna cry but there's this big thing i cant get off my chest.. sigh i've never felt so emotionless before.. makes me feel as if i haven't got a heart..

anyways as promised, a poem:

Once upon a starry starry night,
though not a shooting star took flight,
three children sat up wide-eyed,
praying and wishing with all their might,
that all wrong in the world be made right,
together they held hands, tight.

Twinkle twinkle lil star,
how high up you are,
wont you hear us from afar.

Every evening, mummy and daddy,
listen to the man in the telly,
he tells of stories sad and scary,
once in a blue moon, maybe,
his stories turn out happy.

But most of the time we see people dying,
trees are burnt and icebergs melting,
deadly diseases rampaging,
women and children cant stop crying,
knowing their husbands and fathers aint returning,
from the dangers of hideous bombings.

We wish everyone would appreciate,
the wonderful creations God has made,
and stop letting hate,
consume their soul and head.

We wish for comfort and care,
to shower on the despair,
that others too might share,
the same rejoicing air.

Dark clouds covered the sky,
and the children leaned back, their heads to lie,
on fluffy pillows, their minds to fly,
shutting their eyes, they waved goodbye,
to the stars, they knew, were far and high.

-THE END-

so there you have it... though i always thought the poems i write are so cheesy.. anyways you be the judge =D
